Our hope is that you, your families, colleagues and communities are healthy and managing the changes and challenges that COVID-19 is bringing daily around Australia and the world.

Below we would like to share updates on how The Learning For Life Autism Centre is adapting during this period:

Maintaining our focus on children and their families
We know change is not a friend of people on the autism spectrum. Our families will need particular support over this time as they, like every other family across Australia, continue to build on their children’s learning and the skills that they have achieved.

We are looking at all ways that we can remain connected with our families so that the social and education isolation impact is minimised wherever possible.

We have parents who do not have extended family close by, or even in Australia, and we have children for whom this interruption in their program may have a much longer-term effect. Whatever the challenge each day, our dedicated team at L4Life is monitoring and adapting to stay connected with our children, their families and teachers.

Going virtual and staying mindful of keeping our distance
Our teams, including out therapy supervisors, are meeting regularly on Zoom to roll with the changes.

We’re also looking at transitioning many of our well-loved annual events and fundraisers from in-person to digital. Our Village has been a powerhouse of friendship, care and concern, and we are forever grateful for every one of you right now. This year we will need your support more than ever.

Learning for Life Autism Centre respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Owners of the lands throughout Victoria on which we live, work, learn and play. We pay respect to Elders, both past, present and emerging, and their culture and community.
